Terms and Conditions
PECO Energy Company (PECO) is offering prescriptive and custom incentives under the PECO
Smart Ideas for Your Business to facilitate the implementation of cost-effective energy efficiency
measures for commercial and industrial customers. Any and all energy savings or environmental
credits generated by the project described in this application will be retained by PECO.
Funds are limited and subject to availability. The program may be modified or terminated
without prior notice.
Program Effective Dates
The program is available until May 31, 2021. The current cycle year runs from June 1, 2016,
through May 31, 2017 (‘Program Year Eight’). Incentives are offered until approved funds are
exhausted or until May 15, 2021, whichever comes first. All projects must be completed and the
final applications received no later than May 15, 2021 to be eligible for incentives.
Program and Project Eligibility
Smart Ideas for Your Business incentives are available for the common energy efficiency
measures listed in this Application Manual. Program incentives are available under PECO Smart
Ideas for Your Business to non-residential customers within PECO's service territory. These
incentives are available to all customers who pay into the Energy Efficiency Charge and receive
their electricity over PECO’s distribution network, regardless of the retail electric supplier.
Most commercial projects involving energy savings are eligible. Incentives are available for both
prescriptive and custom measures. Prescriptive measures are energy efficiency measures with
pre-determined savings and incentive levels, and are paid on a per unit basis. These measures
are available for specific Lighting, HVAC, Refrigeration and Food Service, Variable
Speed/Frequency Drives, Compressed Air and Domestic Water Heater measures. Custom
measures include energy efficiency measures not listed on the prescriptive application forms.
Custom incentives must be approved by PECO in advance, are determined on a case-by-case
basis, and are paid per unit of energy (kWh) saved. Examples of projects that are NOT eligible
for PECO Smart Ideas for Your Business include on–site electricity generation, projects focused
primarily on power factor improvement, and renewable energy projects.
Installation must be at the customer’s facility and provide 100% of the energy benefits as stated
in the application for a period of five years or for the life of the product, whichever is less. PECO
has the right to claim a pro-rated amount of any incentive paid if the customer ceases to be a
distribution customer of PECO, or removes the equipment or systems at any time during the
five-year period or the life of the measure.
Incentive Payment Limits
Prescriptive and custom incentives cannot exceed 100% of the customer’s total costs.
Contractor labor costs can be considered in the total project cost, while customer internal labor
costs cannot.

Application Review Process
Pre-approval is required for all projects. A pre-approval application must be submitted before
you purchase equipment or technology for which the incentive is being requested. Pre-approval
is not a guarantee of program acceptance. Completed applications will be reviewed in the order
received. The location or business name on the invoice must be the same as the application
information. The incentive is reserved for the project when PECO receives a complete pre-
approval application and determines that the project meets the program eligibility requirements.
Applicants who submit incomplete applications will be notified of deficiencies upon review of the
application, and could lose their place in line in the review process until all requested
information is received. Applicants are encouraged to call the program hotline if they have any
questions about documentation requirements.
PECO will review final applications for eligibility and completeness. The final application and all
required supporting documentation must be received within 90 days of project completion but no
later than May 15, 2021 to be eligible for incentives. Project documentation, including original
dated invoices for the purchase and installation of the measures and/or product specification
sheets, is required.
The project invoice must provide sufficient detail to separate the project cost from the cost of
other services such as repairs and building code compliance. PECO reserves the right to
request additional supporting documentation necessary to ensure measure eligibility and verify
that the expected energy savings will occur. Requested information may include, but is not
limited to: equipment purchase dates, installation dates, proof that the equipment is operational,
manufacturer specifications, warranty information, and proof of customer co-payment. PECO
will make every effort to maintain the confidentiality of customer information except that such
information must be provided to the PA PUC and its contractor, as well as PECO’s contractor
for measurement and evaluation.
The installed measures are not eligible for incentives from other PA Act 129 Phase 3 Energy
Efficiency Programs.
Inspections and/or PUC’s Statewide Program Evaluation
PECO, its agents, measurement and verification contractor, and/or the PUC statewide program
evaluator have the right to audit or inspect all projects to verify compliance with the program
rules and verify the accuracy of project documentation. This may include pre-installation and/or
post-installation inspections, detailed lighting layout descriptions, metering, data collection,
interviews, and utility bill data analyses. The customer must allow access to project documents
and the facility where the measures were installed for a period of five years after receipt of
incentive payment by PECO.
Requirements for Custom Project Electricity Savings Calculation
The annual electricity savings must be calculated for custom projects using industry accepted
engineering algorithms or simulation models. The applicant must estimate the annual electricity
usage of both the existing and proposed equipment based on the current operation of the
facility. If the existing equipment is at the end of its rated useful life, the applicant must
substitute equipment that would meet the applicable federal and local energy codes as the
baseline when calculating the annual energy savings. The applicant must be able to clearly
describe the method used to calculate the savings. The applicant must provide all assumptions
used in the calculations and document the source for these assumptions. Further information on
custom measures can be found in the Application Manual, which can be downloaded from
www.peco.com/smartideas.
9
The method and assumptions used by the applicant to calculate the annual savings will be
reviewed by PECO. PECO has sole and final determination of the annual energy savings to be
used in calculating the incentive amount. PECO also reserves the right to require specific
measurement and verification activities including monitoring both before and after the retrofit
and to base the incentive payment on the results of these activities.
PECO may need to conduct inspections both before and after the retrofit projects to verify
equipment and operation conditions. Pre-approval application must be submitted while the
existing equipment is still in operation in order to allow PECO the opportunity to view the
existing equipment.
Tax Liability
Incentives may be taxable for most taxpayers. If the incentive is more than $600, it will be
reported to the IRS and the customer will be provided with an IRS form 1099, unless the
customer is exempt. PECO is not responsible for any tax liability that may be imposed on any
customer as a result of the payment of program incentives. All customers must supply their
Federal Tax Identification number to PECO in order to receive a Program Incentive. Please
consult with your tax professional for information on the tax treatment of the incentives.

Permanent Fixture Removal This measure is to be used only in conjunction with lighting retrofits and is intended for spaces that are currently over lit. Incentives are paid $.10/watt reduced only on fixtures removed, not on total watts reduced for entire projects. Overall net lumen reduction must be achieved in order to qualify for a permanent fixture removal incentive. Example: (20) Existing fixtures at 10,000 lumens each = 200,000 lumens. (14) Proposed fixtures at 15,000 lumens each = 210,000 lumens Since there is not a net reduction in lumens, the six fixtures removed would not be eligible for a permanent fixture removal incentive. It is encouraged that spaces meet recommended foot-candle levels as detailed by IESNA Lighting Design Guide.

power allowed by code. Incentives are available for systems where the installed lighting power is
lower than the code-allowed power by at least 10%. Savings are based on the Lighting Power Density
(LPD) calculated on a watts per square foot basis. Incentives will be paid only on the area of the
building where the lighting installation is complete and is ready for occupancy. If a portion of
a building is not built-out such that the lighting in an area is not complete and ready for
occupancy, then that portion is not eligible for an incentive. Baseline lighting power density is
based on ASHRAE 90.1- 2007. Either the "Space-by-Space" or "Building Area" method may be used
to calculate the LPD for the purposes of the incentive.
The minimum lighting power density used to calculate the incentive shall be no lower than 50%
of the ASHRAE 90.1-2007 value.

Interior Occupancy Sensors
Incentives are offered for occupancy-based controls in areas where they are not required by code.
Passive infrared, ultrasonic detectors and fixture-integrated sensors or sensors with a combination
sensor are eligible. All sensors must be hard-wired and control interior lighting fixtures. The incentive is
per Watt controlled. An inventory of the controlled fixtures and their wattage must be provided for each
sensor with the Final Application.
Daylight Dimming System
Incentives are offered for daylight sensor controls in spaces with suitable available ambient light for at
least part of the day. Light may be through skylights, clerestories, windows or “light tubes”. The
controls can be on/off, stepped or continuous dimming. The on/off controller should turn off artificial
lighting when the interior illuminance meets the desired indoor lighting level. The stepped controller
generally dims the artificial lighting 50% when the interior illuminance levels reach 50% of the desired
lighting levels. Continuous or dimming controllers dim artificial lighting proportionally to the available
ambient light. All types of daylight sensor controls are required to be commissioned in order to ensure
proper sensor calibration and energy savings. Incentives are per Watt controlled.

Other HVAC Equipment Hotel Guest Room Occupancy Sensor (Electric Resistance Heat/AC)
Incentives are offered for occupancy-based controls that control electric air conditioning, air
source heat pumps, and / or electric heating units for individual hotel rooms. Systems with non-
electric heat are not eligible. Sensors must be controlled by automatic occupancy detectors or a
key-card system, and the default setting for controlled units differ by at least 5 degrees (or shut
the unit fan and heating or cooling off completely) from the operating set point during un-
occupied periods. The control system may also be tied into other electric loads, such as lighting
and plug loads to shut them off when occupancy is not sensed. The incentive is per room.
Replacement or upgrades of existing occupancy-based controls are not eligible as a prescriptive
incentive.
Economizer Controls
This measure is targeted to non-residential establishments whose HVAC equipment is not
equipped with a functional economizer.
ECM Circulation Fan
This measure is targeted to non-residential customers whose air handling equipment currently
uses a SP or PSC fan motor rather than an ECM. This measure applies only to circulating fan
motors of 1 HP or less. Above 1 HP motors are governed by NEMA standards and would see
little to no efficiency benefit by adding an ECM. The targeted fan can supply heating or cooling
only, or both heating and cooling.

Unitary HVAC Chillers
Air-Cooled Chillers Water Cooled Positive Displacement Reciprocating Chillers Water Cooled Centrifugal Chillers
All chillers: Including unitary electric chillers serving a single load at the system or sub-system
level, existing chillers serving multiple load groups, chillers in industrial applications, existing
chillers with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s) must apply for a site specific custom incentive.
Trade allies or customers must provide pre and post operational data to calculate custom
savings.
Incentives are offered for chillers with an IPLV value (expressed in kW per ton) that is less than
or equal to the qualifying efficiency shown in the table below. The chiller efficiency rating must
be based on ARI Standard 550/590-2003 for IPLV conditions. The chillers must meet ARI
standards 550/590-2003, be UL listed, and use a minimum ozone-depleting refrigerant (e.g.,
HCFC or HFC). The ARI net capacity value should be used to determine the chiller tons. A
manufacturer’s specification sheet with the rated kW/ton-IPLV or COP-IPLV must accompany
the application, along with the four point performance data that is the basis for the IPLV. The
application must include a certification that the chiller is appropriately sized for site design load
conditions.
Chillers must satisfy efficiency requirements for both full load and IPLV efficiencies for either
Path A or Path B. The table shows the minimum efficiency ratings to qualify for the prescriptive
incentive, which must be consistent with the expected operating conditions of the efficient
chiller. For example, if the efficient chiller satisfies Path A and generally performs at part load,
the appropriate baseline chiller efficiency is the IPLV value under Path A. If the efficient chiller
satisfies Path B and generally performs at full load, the appropriate baseline chiller efficiency is
the full load value under Path B. Generally, chillers operating above 70 percent load for a
majority (50% or more) of operating hours should use Path A and chillers below 70% load for
the majority of operating hours should use Path B.

performance of 26 seconds per plate or less. Low flow pre-rinse sprayers reduce hot water
usage and save energy associated with water heating.

Compressed Air Systems
No-loss Condensate Drain
No-loss Condensate Drains are controlled by a sensor that monitors the level of condensate and only open when there is a need to drain condensate. They close before compressed air is allowed to escape. This measure is targeted to non-residential customers whose equipment is a timed drain that operates on a pre-set schedule. Acceptable baseline conditions are compressed air systems with standard condensate drains operated by a solenoid and timer.
Air-Entraining air nozzle
This measure is targeted to non-residential customers whose compressed air equipment uses stationary air nozzles in a production application with an open copper tube of 1/8” or 1/4” orifice diameter. Energy efficient conditions require replacement of an inefficient, non-air entraining air nozzle with an energy efficient air-entraining air nozzle that use less than 15 CFM at 100 psi for industrial applications.
Storage Tanks for Load/No Load Screw Compressors
This measure protocol applies to the installation of air receivers with pressure/flow controls to
load/no load compressors. Load/no load compressors unload when there is low demand. The
process of unloading is done over a period of time to avoid foaming of the lubrication oil. Using
a storage tank with pressure/flow control will buffer the air demands on the compressor.
Reducing the number of cycles in turn reduces the number of transition times from load to no
load and saves energy. The baseline equipment is a load/no load compressor with a 1 gal/cfm
storage ratio or a modulating compressor with blowdown. The high efficiency equipment is a
load/no load compressor with a minimum storage ratio of 4 gallons of storage per cfm.
Cycling Refrigerated Thermal Mass Dryer When air is compressed, water vapor in the air condenses and collects in liquid form. Some of this condensate collects in the air distribution system and can contaminate downstream components such as air tools with rust, oil, and pipe debris. Refrigerated air dryers remove the water vapor by cooling the air to its dew point and separating the condensate. Changes in production and seasonal variations in ambient air temperature lead to partial loading conditions on the dryer. Standard air dryers use a hot gas bypass system that is inefficient at partial loads. A Cycling Thermal Mass Dryer uses a thermal storage medium to store cooling capacity when the system is operated at partial loads allowing the dryer refrigerant compressor to cycle. This measure is targeted to non-residential customers whose equipment is a non-cycling refrigerated air dryer with a capacity of 600 cfm or below. Acceptable baseline conditions are a non-cycling (e.g. continuous) air dryer with a capacity of 600 cfm or below. The replacement of desiccant, deliquescent, heat-of-compression, membrane, or other types of dryers does not qualify under this measure.

Whole Building Systems
Whole Building Systems Approach The Whole Building Systems approach is intended to encourage integrated energy efficient designs by providing enhanced incentives to the customer who addresses overall energy performance. Owners of eligible and qualifying new construction and major renovation projects can receive Whole Building Systems incentives when energy modeling indicates the project’s performance is over 10% better than the ASHRAE 90.1-2007. Savings from eligible electric end-uses in kilowatt hours define the amount of financial incentive. Energy savings achieved through renewable energy sources are not counted toward project energy savings and are not included in the savings basis. Incentive reservations obtained during the design phase of a project will be honored for up to 24 months.
How to Apply for Whole Building Systems Incentives Before construction begins:
A Pre-notification Application must be submitted documenting the Owner's intention to seek Whole Building Systems incentives.
The Owner must confirm the goals and energy efficiency strategies being pursued by the design team on the completed Pre-notification Worksheet (Checklist tab) and in the project Summary (Whole Building Performance Summary tab).
Submit executable building modeling software files
Submit the Whole Building Performance Summary worksheet, energy simulation model inputs and outputs, and supporting documentation
Receive confirmation and eligibility notification from the PECO Smart Ideas team and receive an incentive reservation.
The final incentive paid may differ from the reserved incentive amount. The final incentive will be calculated based on site-verified equipment installation and performance. The Owner's final application and complete documentation must be received within 6 months of equipment installation or certificate of occupancy, whichever is later.
During the construction period:
Owner and design team continue to work closely with their chosen contractor to assure energy efficiency measures are included and installed in the completed building.
When the building is constructed and operational:
Complete the Owner final application. Request an equipment verification site visit by the PECO Smart Ideas team. Equipment must be installed and fully operational. o Program staff will schedule a site visit and utilize submitted documentation and
measurement tools to verify that the installation follows the submitted energy simulation model.
o Variations and changes observed in the installed equipment performance may lead to reductions in incentive amount.
When PECO confirms that there are no significant changes to the installed equipment, payment of the reserved incentive will be made to the Owner within 6 weeks.
If changes from the proposed design energy simulation are found, the Owner and design team will be notified of the reduced incentive amount; a period of 20 calendar days will be allowed for supplemental information to be provided; if no additional information is received by PECO Smart Ideas team, the reduced incentive payments will be made and sent to the Owner; if additional clarification and information is available, program staff will work diligently to resolve the discrepancies and arrive at a reasonable incentive adjustment with the customer.
40
Payments made by PECO Smart Ideas are final.
Customer Eligibility The Owner of the proposed new building project must be a customer of PECO and receive delivery of electric service from PECO to receive kilowatt-hour based incentives. Please note that electricity supply can be provided by any vendor. Project Eligibility
The project must be a new construction or major renovation. Major renovations involving the removal and redesign of at least two building systems (such as interior lighting and mechanical systems) may apply for Whole Building Systems incentives.
To qualify for Owner incentives, projects must demonstrate energy efficiency enhancements that achieve at least a 11% improvement in the proposed design versus the standard baseline.
The Owner must submit a Pre-approval Application to the program at the stage where changes for increased energy efficiency are still feasible and construction has not been completed.
Projects receiving Whole Building Systems incentives are not eligible to receive other incentives such as the prescriptive or custom program incentives for the same scope.
Project components that are NOT eligible for consideration as a basis for PECO Smart Ideas include the following: o Alternative fuel sources (e.g. use of gas or oil equipment in lieu of electric). Please note
that combined heat and power (CHP) systems will be incentivized for the electricity they produce.
o Renewable energy sources (e.g. solar, wind, biomass)
Ineligible savings include exterior lighting, process, receptacle, miscellaneous loads and other unregulated end-uses.

Custom Project Specifications
Instructions for Energy Savings Calculations for Custom Projects
Custom projects must involve measures that result in a reduction in electric energy use (kWh). Electricity savings may result from either efficiency improvements or fuel switching.
Custom Incentives are based on the first year kilowatt-hour savings. Custom applications must be accompanied by detailed engineering calculations that document the annual total energy savings.
The following serve as guidelines for the minimum required documentation.
Equipment Information Submittals
A list of the present and proposed equipment and components to be installed, including manufacturer’s catalog/model number
Manufacturer’s specification sheets showing capacities and performance for all major components
Energy Savings Calculations
Provide calculations documenting the predicted energy consumption of the existing (or baseline) and proposed system using appropriate analytical tools and clearly stated assumptions. Calculations may be performed by “hand,” but spreadsheet analysis or more rigorous modeling is preferred. All analysis should be provided in electronic format. All assumptions such as operating hours, existing and proposed equipment operational details must be presented. Engineering algorithms and procedures from recognized technical organizations such as ASHRAE, SMACNA, ANSI, etc. must be used. Use rated performance factors tested under accepted procedures specified by recognized rating agencies such as AHRI, ANSI, ASTM, etc. Provide an explanation when equipment performance rating conditions vary from standard conditions.
In support of the calculations, extensive documentation must be provided that provides the basis for the savings estimates. The documentation must provide information on the equipment operating schedule, daily and seasonal load profile, and baseline AND energy efficient equipment performance at the operating loads. Typical documentation for custom projects often includes:
Engineering or architectural drawings and “equipment schedule” sheets
Component specification sheets that include part load efficiency or performance factors
Spreadsheet calculations or input/output files and results from system modeling or other engineering analysis using accepted engineering algorithms and practices
Log sheets, trend logs from a building management system, or other operating documentation that are often necessary to document operating hours and equipment loading, and used as a basis for the calculations (in some cases, short term monitoring may be required to document the load profile)
Control sequence of operations that are necessary where controls play a part in the savings equation
Additional documentation, other than that described in the application, may be required for program participation. Larger projects may also require pre- and post-project sub metering, or monitoring of loads and/or power input as part of another measurement and verification activity to demonstrate the actual energy savings that are realized.
42
Baseline for Custom Analysis
Where equipment is replaced prior to the end of its rated service life in order to achieve energy savings, the existing equipment performance may be used as the baseline in the energy savings calculations. Where equipment is replaced due to failure or for other reasons (such as obsolescence or a need for more capacity), the baseline performance used in the savings calculation should be either the minimum performance that would be required by code for that equipment type and application (where a code applies) or the performance of the equipment that would have been selected as the customer's "standard practice" when a code does not apply.
Baseline or Existing System Summary
On custom worksheet on application form, include make, model number, name plate information (such as operating voltage and rated full load amps), rated capacity, quantities, equipment condition and age, facility operating hours, equipment operating schedule, and load curves. If needed, attach separate sheets.
All decisions regarding incentives for custom projects are in the sole discretion of PECO.
